5. In Development at Eric Miller Animation Studios

While we are continuing to offer one-stop-shop animation production services, we are also continuing to develop our own intellectual properties. We are hard at work on our Bink short, and very excited on the progress we are making on the story. We're spending more time on the story before putting it into production, because we want it to be amazing.

We are also in very early stages on exploring other ideas. One of those ideas, currently titled Firefly Woods, will be a 3D animated virtual reality project. We have been wanting to get into the VR world, and this is one of our first steps into this exciting space. Stay tuned for future updates on this and other projects we are working on.
